Fabric Giveaway from Connecting Threads

Today I am excited to officially welcome Connecting Threads as a sponsor of Diary of a Quilter. If you’re not familiar with Connecting Threads, let me introduce you.

Connecting Threads is a family-owned company that produces and sells their own lines of fabric. All of their fabrics are sold via their own catalog or through the online store. Because they cut out the middle man they are able to offer high quality quilting cottons at lower price ($5.96 a yard!) and orders over $50 are shipped free.

Some of their recent collections include this nice “fallish” looking collection called Heather’s Garden

This pretty collection of blues is called Indigo Patchwork. I’m a sucker for blues and whites. They always look classic and seem to never look dated.

Finally this collection called Mix It Up full of good blenders including dots, stripes, and plaids.

Not only do they carry fabric, there are also patterns, kits, notions, and thread. It’s a great one-stop shop! The Connecting Threads site is so efficient and easy to navigate. It also includes lots of free stuff like tutorials, patterns, and other downloads. You can follow them on Facebook to keep up with all the latest releases and news.

And today Connecting Threads wants to give away a three fat quarter bundles – one from each collection pictured above – to three different winners! To enter take a quick trip to Connecting Threads and come back and leave a comment telling me a collection that looks appealing to you. Please make sure there is a way I can contact you if you are randomly selected as winner. Giveaway open until Friday, September 27 at midnight, MST. GIVEAWAY CLOSED. Post Edit: This giveaway is only open to participants in the US or Canada.

I like the Fall Harvest collection, as well as their huge selection of really nice solids(Quilter&#39;s Candy) ! I never have enough classic blues, so this is what I&#39;d love to win if my number came up

Please sign me up for the drawing! I absolutely love the Heathers Garden collection, my oldest daughter is Heather and she had an awesome garden this year. Wouldn&#39;t it be cool to make her something from that line! I went to their site and looked thru their kits. Wonderful bag kits at such awesome prices. I had to add them to my favorites for a visit later!

I order from Connecting Threads alot. They are my go to place for fabric, patterns &amp; kits. To pick a favorite is impossible because I love them all. If you have never ordered from this company you need to try a quick order. This fabric is awesome!! Thanks for the great giveaway.

I love CT. I buy their fabrics, and thread. I have lots of their solids, mirage, samplers, etc. Not enough room to list them all. I like the Mix it up brights or the indigo&#39;s the best, but I would love any pack from CT. Thanks for the chance to win.<br /><br />Mary Malone<br /><br />mary and russ at wi dot rr dot com

such beautiful fabric collections. I really like the Indigo Patchwork collection but I have to say that American Celebration was my favourite of all the collections. Thank you for the chance to win even though I don&#39;t need much encouragement to spend time admiring fabrics on the Internet (and imagining what quilts I would make with them). In the case I do win, I can be reached at

Boy, I figured either the blues or the fall colors you featured above would be it, but I went ahead and looked at the site… Yes, I think the indigo and white is still my favorite because I&#39;m collecting that color scheme right now for a quilt, but I&#39;ll admit the fruit salad one made me smile!

Just last weekend I harvested my indigo crop and was able to extract the dye from the leaves to color some fabric for my quilting fabric stash. The colors turned out beautiful! The indigo patchwork collection would be a nice compliment! Thanks for the giveaway.<br />Bethany<br />bethany0728 at … gmail

I have been eyeing their Rest in Pieces collection for a bit. It would be fun to make something for Halloween from it. I better hurry tho, Halloween is coming fast. Thanks for the chance to win. <br />kogrady@cableone.net

Oh, my goodness, so many lovely fabric collections! I&#39;m so happy autumn&#39;s here, I think I&#39;m going to go with the Halloween collection, Rest in Pieces. The haunted house focus print is so cute! Thank you for the opportunity!

Why have I not purchased anything from them before?????? I love their fabric and their prices. Oh, and I&#39;ve been thinking about making a blue and white quilt which makes their Indigo collection perfect.<br /><br />Abigail

I buy from Connecting Threads whenever I need fabric, the quality is great and you can&#39;t beat the price. Mix it Up and Quilter&#39;s Candy Basics especially the Mirage are my favorites. deanie dot dreams at gmail dot com

Which to choose??? They are all 3 gorgeous, but the Indigo Patchwork collection attracted me right off the bat. I choose that one The other collections are lovely as well, especially the large floral ones. Great offerings here!

indigo patchwork……I&#39;m redoing my living room in blue and white….wouldn&#39;t these make a great quilt to put on the back of the couch or maybe hang on the wall? I buy their thread and love it. I am going to go back and drool over their fabrics again…..

I like the sun Kissed Harvest Collection and the Light and Bright Batiks. You&#39;ve certainly been busy traveling lately. Weren&#39;t you at the Riley Blake LV get away and then at Sewing Summit?I bet it&#39;s good to be home for a minute or two. Thanks for the chance at fabric.

I am a long time connecting threads customer – was saddened when they closed their store here in Vancouver, WA. I like their basics and blenders – they also have a great line of batiks. great prices and good service.

I am a huge fan of Connecting Threads! I have been so tempted lately with their new collections. I really love Heather&#39;s Garden~ and the Fall Harvest collection is a very close second. Thanks for the chance!

I love Connecting Threads. I&#39;ve ordered from them a few times. I keep checking their site for additions to their batik selections. I also love the solid blenders. Thanks for the chance to win the giveaway.

The new Indigo patchwork fabric is delicious. I&#39;ve been ordering from Connecting Threads for a few years now, I love the their threads, batiks and solid blenders. I am very happy that this company is now part of your family of sponsors.

I like Heather&#39;s Garden. I was just eye balling these new lines the other day. That plaid print in Heather&#39;s Garden reminds me of a DS print, must get some! I love their solids, they are just as good as most any other, in my opinion!

The majority of fabrics in my stash are from Connecting Threads…love the quality, colors and prices. They have great customer service, too! <br />I haven&#39;t ordered any of their newest fabrics yet, but Heather&#39;s Garden is in the running! I think it would be a great addition to my stash, and would make a great future quilt!!

I love the Quilter&#39;s Candy collection, who doesn&#39;t need more basics in their stash?? But I&#39;m also in love with the Winter&#39;s Evening collection and a few of their backing fabric choices.<br /><br />ashley(dot)pickrell(at)yahoo(dot)com

I&#39;m immediately drawn to Heather&#39;s Garden as autumn is my favourite time of year. But, I have yet to make a blue quilt and Indigo Patchwork is calling out to me…Pick Me! <br />Love them all.<br />Good luck everyone

Wow, my first visit to Connecting Threads (and won&#39;t be my last)! Love their collections and prices!!! And I find ALL of the collections appealing! This is a great giveaway, and thanks for introducing me to them. It&#39;s a definite favorite online source now! Oh…and I guess I&#39;d have to say that Cookie Exchange, Shake It Up, Home Front and Winter Flurry all compete for my top favorites

Connecting Threads is one of my &quot;go to&quot; online shops! I especially like their year end sales – such great deals! I&#39;ve been drooling over those Indigo Patchwork blues lately. I&#39;m trying not to stash-enhance, but winning fabric isn&#39;t the same as buying! Thanks for the chance!

Connecting Threads is one of my favourite on-line shops and their shipping to Canada is extremely generous. I&#39;ve been a customer for many years and will continue to be. One of my favourite collections is the flannel quilter&#39;s candy basics – great colours and patterns.

I really like Indigo Patchwork. Because I do so many charity kid&#39;s quilts, I haven&#39;t had a chance to work with &quot;adult&quot; blue. Connecting Threads is one of my favorite places for fabrics!

I LOVE Connecting Threads.. it is a wonderful online/catalog based business. They have wonderful batting sales and honestly would love to have their fabrics.. So without sounding pathetic…. Please Please pick me!!!

Indigo Patchwork. I love blues, but I also love colors. I think Heather&#39;s Garden is beautiful also. Connecting Threads is one of my favorite places to shop for fabrics. In fact, I have an order on its way to me right now.

Love Quilter&#39;s Candy Basics – so many great possibilities for these basics. I recently placed an order with Connecting Threads and was really happy with them and how quickly they shipped; I will certainly be ordering from them again!<br />(majesticjenkinsATgmailDOTcom)

I pretty much like ALL the Connecting Threads fabric! Right now though my favorite is Winter&#39;s Evening. The colors aren&#39;t the typical holiday or winter colors and they&#39;re very soothing to me.

I just got your post in my inbox and you already have 373 comments! Wow do I get blog posts late! Funny you should ask as I have the Connecting Threads blog post still in my inbox announcing the Indigo sampler because I love blues, but now that I see Heathers Garden here I love that more because I am an autumn girl, but if I were choosing one out of ALL the samplers, I&#39;d choose the

Wonderful that they are able to offer these fabrics at such a great price. I actually just got their catalog and it looks like they have a large variety of inventory from fabric to patterns, etc. I think my favorite bundle is the Indigo Patchwork, although the basics line is a close contender. Thank you for the opportunity! khauglan(at)yahoo(dot)com

Batik paradise and quilter&#39;s candy basics are the collections that attract me the most. Though I must say the Indigo Patchwork is very appealing as I like to Sashiko stitch and it would go well with that collection!<br />Email: lookatbrightside@gmail.com

I have been a fan of Connecting Threads and love the indigo patchwork line!!! I guess I always been a blue person and my quilting shows it. I have been using their cotton thread for years now and you can&#39;t beat the cost. Margie Gschwendtner email – margiegschwendtner@yahoo.com

I saw a ton of fabric that I loved…like Sweet St. Nick…those little wee swirl candies are adorable!! And Sunkissed Harvest and Heather&#39;s Garden are wonderful!! SEW darn many to choose from!! Thanks for the chance!!<br />Paulette

I won&#39;t buy fabric from anywhere else! I love Connecting Threads. The fabric is great and they are one of the only places that fit within my budget. The Heather&#39;s Garden collection is very nice.

i love connecting threads fabric! i love their thread too! these giveaways are fun, but, how do you choose just one? the indigo line can be used anywhere…but mix it up strums my heartstrings…thanks so much for the chance to win! missjameequilts@gmail.com

I&#39;m glad you posted this. I went over there and realized that the adorable galoshes fabric that I had eyed up awhile ago for my bathroom curtains was on clearance. I almost missed it, but now for less than $12, my bathroom curtain fabric is on the way. Yay!

The Quilter&#39;s Candy Basics would be a good stash builder or good to use on a scrappy quilt. LOVE it and the Indigo Patchwork would make for a wonderful looking dresden quilt or a fence rail quilt. Oh the possibilities.

Just getting my start into quilting even though I&#39;ve been sewing for almost 55 years!! As a grandmother of 5 grandsons, the Indigo Patchwork would fit into my little boys&#39; quilts very nicely!! Thanks for the chance to win:) cindysheaffer60@gmail.com

I have ordered from them for a few years now. I have every color<br />of their longarm thread; love it for quilting and piecing. They have great prices on books and fabrics. My favorite collection is the Indigo.

The Mix-It-Up collection looks just like my style! I&#39;ve purchased fabric and thread from Connecting Threads in the past and been very pleased with their prices and quality – I understand they&#39;re fabric is all made in the U.S.! <br /><br />Thanks for the chance to win.<br />Elizabeth<br />boltonia55@yahoo.com

Thanks for the opportunity. They have gorgeous fabrics, the ones that you can&#39;t stop drooling over while browsing. It is a tough decision to make but I will go for the &#39;Winter Flurry&#39; collection. They are absolutely beautiful. Fingers crossed.<br />E-mail: contactmrslucky@gmail.com.

I really like the Indigo Patchwork! When I received Connecting Threads last catalog, I decided that I am just going to have to order some of the beautiful blue fabric. Now I have my chance to win some. Thanks!

I love the Heather Gardens, also the Indigo blues, American Celebration just how do you choose just one. I have been shopping connecting threadss for quiet a while and they have great sales! I love your blog too! thanks for the chance to win. mburnette912@bellsouth.net

I am so thrilled you have shared this site! I LOVE the fabrics. I am going to explore more later. I liked them on fb, too! My TWO favs (because I couldn&#39;t choose) are the Indigo Patchwork because I love the traditional, But I also LOVE the Mix it Up because I love the fun colors in that one. Great fabrics for some great projects.

American Celebration has a great selection that would work well in my stash (or not … doesn&#39;t matter. It&#39;s a stash and everything works!). Then I look at the blues and my grand-daughter wants a quilt in blue. Truth is … all are beautiful! Great giveaway and thanks!! Travelingro@gmail.com

CT has wonderful fabrics… I&#39;m a bit addicted to them. The Indigo Patchwork is beautiful, would love to play with that. And I actually have some of their Bookish collection set aside to make your Boho Girl pattern (when at least a couple of my UFOs are finished!). bhadenfeldt at gmail dot com

I have ordered from Connecting threads many times. I love their stuff. My favorite right now is the Indigo Patchwork that you have featured for the giveaway. I have been coveting that one for awhile now! They also have a &quot;Americana&quot; collection that I love.

Wow. Thank you for sharing about this great store! I think I&#39;ve found my new favorite place to shop. It&#39;s very hard to choose just one, so my top three lines are Heather&#39;s Garden, Quilter&#39;s Candy Basics and Shake It up. Love them all! Thanks for the chance to win.
